Which famous British sea Captain faced three courts marshal in his career and was acquitted on all three occasions?
Bligh?
Cook?
Not Cook.
Dampier?
Dampier?
ok i looked so i am ruling my self out. 3 is not the court marshalls but the number of charges?
NO. Not the number of charges.
The number of courts marshal. ( It is the courts that are plural, not the marshals )
It was Bligh. I thought when there were only two answers - Cook and Bligh and I replied "Not Cook"
Then some bright spark might have twigged.
Bligh faced 3 courts martial, and was exonorated at all 3.
You haven't answered the previous poster that put Bligh up yet?
Edit:
Sorry just read your post above.
Artme if one is going to correct ones grammar then one ( including oneself) should spell court martial correctly:DQuote:

Bob, I know that the history of the war of independence and it's aftermath was pretty damned complex.
The French were involved for several reasons ( the main being that they were French ). The Spanish also
stuck their beak in.
Now with both these countries having colonies in the West Indies and central/South America the US was
probably permitted to operate from one of those.
